My Bruised and Sprained Foot

Remember you can get a free book by commenting in my blog by following this link. The Excuse book is a great book with excuses, ways to avoid them and also stories. The story Lights On is my favorite and that story has gotten me out the door more than once.

Just to prove that I'm not a total baby dealing with this sprain I figured I'd post a picture now that the bruising has seriously set in. I have twisted my ankle many times and shook it off and finished a run. I may have even bruised a little bit. But nothing like this. My foot is still swollen 4 days later, it is bruised on both sides of my feet and up my leg. Even my toes are swollen and are now turning purple.

The really good news is although it looks horrible, I can walk on it. I can't fit a shoe on it yet because of the swelling but I was wondering if this would now be a good time to try barefoot running. j/k.

Update: I bought a book "guaranteed" to get over the sprain quicker than RICE. While I was underwhelmed by my recovering (I expected overnight results), it did help some. Send me an email and I'd be happy to forward you the PDF. cheinle at cox dot net.

About Me

I'm passionate about running, photography, stamping, scrapbooking, gardening, reading. I love connecting with people but don't consider myself a people person. I'd love to hear from you.
From the label of Lazy Bones Cabernet Franc wine...I don't care if you call me Lazy Bones. I love to lounge away the day alone. Why mix with others when being myself is beautiful?
